Funny that you’d write about the Garter snake when I just encountered a juvenile one on Memorial Day!!! He was so pretty and cute. I didn’t have my camera so no photo. I was happy to see it too. I also had a 6’ King snake visit last week. I like them too. Thanks to a Facebook friend who is a snake hunter and has helped so many people learn about snakes in our area. Because of him, I can recognize and identify most of our snakes here in East Tennessee. We do have the Timber Rattler and Copperheads but they seem to stay in the mountains. Lots of people get the copperheads and Corn-snake. mixed up. They appear very similar but that flat copper colored head tells the tale.
